Thou hast written regarding the death of thy
mother. Praise be to God, she hath attained to the
desire of her heart and hath ascended to the Kingdom
of Abha!

Happiness dependeth of the spiritual glad-tidings
and not upon material means. It is found in the Kingdom
of Abha and not in this mortal world.

O thou maid-servant of God! Become thou not extinguished
by the winds of tests, but rather become
ignited and be more happy, for then thou wilt become
a tried believer.

Guide the maid-servant of God, Mrs. ….….., to
the power of the Holy Spirit and say: “Unless the
Holy Spirit become intermediary, one cannot attain
directly to the bounties of God. Do not overlook the
obvious truths, for it is a self-evident fact that a child
592
cannot be instructed without a teacher, and knowledge
is a bounty from the bounties of God. The soil is not
covered with grass and green without the rain of the
cloud; therefore the cloud is the intermediary between
the divine bounties and the soil. A body doth not
develop and grow without the soul; therefore the soul
is the medium of the spiritual life.”

Convey respectful greeting to Mrs. ….….. and
say: “I hope that through the breath of the Holy Spirit
the mysteries may become disclosed to thee, for without
this channel it is impossible and unattainable. Turn
thine attention to the days of His Highness the Christ;
some people imagine that without the Messianic outpourings,
it is possible to attain to Truth, but this very
imagination became the cause of their deprivation.”

O thou maid-servant of God! Whenever thou art
desiring to talk and answer questions, turn thy face toward
the Kingdom of Abha and beseech for assistance;
then loosen thy tongue. Thou wilt behold at that time
how thou art able to answer all the questions!

O thou maid-servant of God! The aim of the theosophists
is to attain to Truth, but the Truth is unattainable
except through the favor of the Holy Spirit. The
light hath a center and if one desire to seek it otherwise
but from the center, he can never attain to it. In this
solar system the source of light is the sun and every
light is acquired from it; even the lamps of the night
are ignited through the sun, for if there were no sun
the trees would not grow nor the mines develop, so
that the oil be extracted from those trees and mines,
and the lamps of the night be lit by it. Is it possible
that one attain to the light in this globular sphere without
593
the mediation of the sun? No, by the life of God!
To suppose it, is pure imagination. But the Truth is
this: The main source of the lights is the Sun and the
rays are shed from it upon all the regions.
